I haven't watched the second episode yet, but the first was not great. I'll give it probably until next week to get better just because I do find the idea of mid 19th century Five Points cop show very attractive, but it's on probation.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

okay, please report back because between the topic of child slavery and all the threads of relationships, I just was not interested.
And I liked and watched Deadwood so I clearly have no problem with period dramas.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
FWIW, I found that Copper picked up dramatically by the end of the 2nd ep. I was surprised the channel didn't air it as a 2-parter, to be honest.
(Disclaimer, I am obviously not an unbiased 3rd party here, but please, please give Copper another chance so that it will become a huge hit and we can all move on and forget that "The Week The Women Went" ever happened, k? Because seriously, that shit is just embarrassing.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Really? I liked Copper. I am pretty easy when it comes to period drama, though. I got even more interested after I watched the little "making-of" special, because I am interested to see where they go.

I liked Copper too. And was wondering if erika was watching given the Homicide connection.
